Mud flaps? Ideas? Styles? Pics?
I'm debating on whether or not I should mount mudflaps on the front of my crewcab. Curious to see what others have done? What styles and how they were mounted. I don't drive my truck much, rarely sees much more than rain and won't be muddin or back woods wheeling as I just painted it.
I have a set of old school 'Big Sky County Montana' flaps that were on the back of truck when I bought it, hanging from the rear bumper. I want to keep these mudflaps, but want to mount them under the bed and have them removable.
Anybody make a neat bracket or hanger for their rear mud flaps?
Thanks guys...
My rig is a '76 CC 4x4...

Kind of a crappy picture, I'll try and get a better one when I get home. I have them mounted with the angle iron that you use to hang a garage door opener. On the rear, one end is bolted to the bedside support doohickey and the other side is connected to the frame rail. In the front, some big honkin self tappers in the lower part of the of the cab mount, and the other is bolted to the quarterpanel.
I'll try and get a better one, sorry. If you want pictures of how I mounted it I'll be back by the truck in 2 days so I'll get em for you then

I've gone back and forth about putting mud flaps on my truck. I think they look cool. My truck's previous owner backed over some steps, so one of the bed sides is curled under at the back where the bracket would mount (see picture). Not sure how I would get around that other than fixing the bed. If anyone has any ideas, let me know (hope I'm not hijacking the thread too much).

I used these mounts and brackets on my 1997 F350. I really liked them and they will be going on my 74 when I get to that point.....

I picked them up at a local big truck parts place, I think 6 Robblees was the place up here, but any truck stop type place should have them down there.

Well fmc400, that bed ain't gonna magically fix itself. I say slowly pull and persuade it back into place.
Mud flaps? Naaaah... let'em eat roadspray!

I can get away with not running flaps... But WA law requires it on the back axle for how high my truck sits. I'm more concerned about saving the paint and underside of my truck more than keeping the splash down for folks behind me
